NW WA Meet / BS Thread

You should be fine. So the template is kinda garbage... But only kinda. Use it. Line it up perfect and drill all the holes. Luckily the big hole comes out just fine. It will dictate where all your little holes will be. They normally end up wrong and need some reaming. Alcohol helps.

 

I bought mine directly from airflow. They shipped it in a week and it was only 20 bucks more than the gb

 

Heading up to Stampede Pass / Lost Lake / Where ever else this morning with a guy that lives down the road.

We're going to try to make it to Mule by noon.

Also, his neighbor has a silver second gen that looks like a Tacomaworld member owns it.... Has the large black "TOYOTA" lettering decal across the tail gate and a light bar in the front bumper. One of the ones with orange on the ends of it. Like the one Defconbrix has on top of his truck. Who are you?

 

Those first gen wheels fit on second gen? How much?

 

Good to see youze guys at Das Mule!
Brian, I found my trasharoo! It was with my camping gear. Must have been sober when I put it away!

 

Those have nicer offset then the factory 2nd gen tacoma wheels. I would have bought them off ya 5 months ago.

 

The only Toyota that should have Toyota across a tailgate is a fj45. Which are pretty rare.

 

My old t100 did from the factory. A lot of people add it though

 

Those just had it on the left side of the tailgate didn't they? I was thank ND across-the-board while tailgate

 

Ohh it might have been.. It was big letters though I know that for sure. Can't remember if it was centered or to the left

 

Getting everything sorted for next weekend

 

People get the decal made pretty often. I think he meant a 2nd with that custom decal

 

Hope some of you guys made it to Mule today. I wanted to go but ended up tied up with something else....



Picked up from the powder coater Friday, installed it today

 

I got to Mule at 1:20 and saw only @TacoSTIG driving away.
I saw more FJ's than at a dealership...

It was meh...

 

How much just for the tires?

 

Sorry if this got answered but didn't want to forget -- MULE is not open on Sunday/Monday as far I know......that was the last I new....

 

Open house today.

 

DAMNIT!! Did not realize and I had time to kill........

 

yeah I know that's the issue cause I did put it on 4wd and the noise went away, but again dealer cant find the issue uuggghhhh but since I will be car pool it will be on hold for a while but I think ecgs bushing will be a good thing to add on to my truck to keep that humming and growling noise off. also I notice my cv is in an angle but very little, if you see it close it is noticeable but if you just look at it, it looks normal. seems like if I put a little bigger tire it will look like it will correct the cv angle but I don't know.

 

Just an FYI, once you start hearing the noise you *do not* have much time. I thought the same thing and put it off slightly. Within a week the bearing grenaded and all the little needle bearings tore up my inner CV diff seal. Drained a mess of gear oil out in my parking space at work. Also not a good idea to have all those little needle bearings swimming around with your R&P.

As for your CV angle? Yeah a change in tire size won't change anything. It may just be the slop in the needle bearing you're seeing...
